For Immediate Release:
SAINT PAUL, MN – Each year about 50,000 people visit emergency rooms in the United States for CO poisoning, and more than 500 die each year from this silent, odorless, colorless gas. As part of Winter Hazard Awareness Week (November 5-9), the Minnesota Department of Commerce warns Minnesotans of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and to take steps to avoid this "silent killer."
"Carbon monoxide at high levels is a deadly poison and in lesser concentrations can cause or exacerbate illnesses," said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. "It is paramount that the symptoms of CO poisoning are promptly recognized and addressed, and that people understand the source of CO and how to prevent CO poisoning."
What is CO?
CO is a gas that you can't see or feel. It can build up to dangerous concentrations indoors when fuel-burning devices—furnaces, water heaters, gas or kerosene space heaters, gas boilers, gas ranges and ovens, gas dryers, charcoal or gas grills, fireplaces and wood stoves, vehicles, and yard equipment—are not properly vented, operated or maintained. CO is most common in the winter months, when a heating system malfunctions in a home or when a car engine is left running in a garage.
How does CO harm people?
When CO is inhaled into the lungs it displaces the oxygen in the blood stream and affects all major organs and muscles. CO prevents oxygen from being used by the body, and the higher the concentration of CO in the air, the more rapid the oxygen displacement and the greater the health risk.
According to the Carbon Monoxide Safety Association, for healthy people, symptoms of CO poisoning (headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and confusion) may begin at CO levels of 36-99 parts per million (ppm). However, exposure to lower levels of CO (about 5-30 ppm) over extended periods of time may also contribute to illness. Exposure at higher levels and of longer duration will produce more severe symptoms. For example, at 800 ppm, nausea, dizziness and convulsions may occur, and death can occur within 2 hours at that level. At 1,600 ppm, death can occur within 1 hour.
Effects of CO vary from person to person, but people at increased risk of CO poisoning include pregnant women, the elderly, people with chronic health conditions, and people engaged in strenuous physical activity. CO poisoning mimics many common illnesses such as food poisoning, and it is frequently confused with a flu-like condition.
"CO poisoning is an under-tested and often misdiagnosed malady," said Bob Dwyer, a consultant for the Carbon Monoxide Safety Association. Physicians can perform a simple, noninvasive carboxyhemoglobin percentage test on patients presenting with CO poison symptoms. The test measures the percent of CO in the hemoglobin of one's blood. About 1 to 4 percent is considered normal for nonsmokers.
Preventing CO poisoning
The Minnesota Department of Health offers the following tips to help protect you and your family from CO poisoning:

Your Scan Tool's Most Important Functions
Dave Cappert examines the most important scan tool functions.
Most scan tools can perform bidirectional communication where the tool can be used to "talk" back and forth with various onboard systems. Some examples include body computers, the Controller Area Network (CAN), entertainment and information systems, fuel control systems, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and transmission control.
Signal Substitution
Some scan tools can substitute values to check the response from the PCM. For example, a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) can affect several systems, like cruise control, speedometer and transmission. By substituting a value, you can quickly emulate different speed conditions that may prove useful during diagnosis.
Onboard Service Information
Current scan tool offerings often include onboard service information, which can be a real time-saver when checking whether a problem may be related to a service bulletin or to access further details from a schematic. Although it's not a substitute for a service information system, this feature can be a time-saver.
The "Best" Scan Tool?
Questions abound when it comes to choosing a scan tool. Aftermarket-type or OE version? Traditional type or PC-based? The answer depends on your specific needs.
Carefully consider the makes, models and types of vehicles you service regularly, along with those you plan on servicing down the road. Talk over your options with other techs and your equipment rep. Above all, get some hands-on time with whatever scan tool you're considering. In some cases, multiple scan tools may be necessary to handle the specific population of vehicles that come into your shop.
Also, like it or not, a scan tool is not the single answer for all your diagnostic woes. Onboard diagnostics really help, but they're no substitute for a thorough understanding of how the system works, how to conduct other pinpoint tests, and what other testing equipment might be needed.

got these for my 22 month old in 7 toodler but had to return as they were loose, exchanged for 6.5 but they fit like 6 and were very snug. also the velcro is very short, doesnt go all the way over.
but I will be keeping them because each time I exchange have to pay $7 in shpping, and I already wasted money to send back for a different size; its not worth it. I wish 6.5 was true to size and this store had free returns as well like other shoe online retailers

Demand for rental cars is reaching a record high and the supply is staggering to keep upFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - And with many people in the market for alternative means of transportation rental cars are getting harder to find.
By: Drew Trafton, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - And with many people in the market for alternative means of transportation rental cars are getting harder to find.
And right now, demand is near record highs for 28 year local business owner David Lundeen.
David Lundeen/U-Save Car and Truck Rental Owner: "We had two very busy spells in our career. One was in the first flood in 1998. And this has been our 2nd busiest."
And supply, much like recent temperatures has fallen well below zero.
Lundeen: "We have 50 units and our rental fleet is at full demand."
In short, if you want to rent a car - get in line.
Waiting lists include prospective and current customers hoping to upgrade from a sedan to an SUV or truck.
And although you might think the added business would mean money is falling from the sky like snowflakes for rental companies, consider this:
Lundeen: "There's a lot of work that has to be done on the backside, to keep these cars out in this weather. Rentable."
It may be cliché to say rental cars get driven into the ground, but it's also true, just ask U-Save mechanic Denny Swanson.
Dennis Swanson/Northside Service Center Manager: "It's been nice to be busy, and just like everyone else; I can't wait for it to warm up."
David tells me further depleting his fleet many of the vehicles his business has rented out are getting stuck at their destinations due to weather.

Can a Muslim allow a non-Muslim guest to observe the rituals of kufr in his home?
Praise be to Allaah.
Can a Muslim allow a non-Muslim guest to observe the rituals of kufr in his home?
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad Saalih al-'Uthaymeen, who answered as follows:
Praise be to Allaah. It is not permissible for you to willingly consent to that, because this is kufr and the person has no religion, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings):
"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him" [Aal 'Imraan 3:85]
"And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur'ân) that when you hear the Verses of Allâh being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than that" [al-Nisa' 4:140]
Also, this visitor is humiliating you by doing this, because he knows that you do not like it, so you should not let him humiliate you.
And Allaah knows best.
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

Has our infatuation with "cuteness" gone too far?
November 18, 2009
Coochie, coochie, coochie, coo!
Cute article in the December issue of Vanity Fair, by Jim Windolf entitled Addicted to Cute. In it, the author discusses the "tsunami of cute" rolling over modern America. "We're drowning in puppies and kittens and bunnies and cupcakes."
Try living with three little girls, Jim.
But seriously (if serious is possible in a story like this), the author is on to something. Cuteness has become more than just the providence of young girls and their grandmothers. All one has to do is look at how many immensely popular websites are devoted to cuteness or what the keeper of YouCan'tMakeItUp called "bittersweet sadness and heart-splosioning adorablosity." She's talking about a collection of photos featuring small animals in casts. Kittens with leg braces!
Windolf's essay opens with a discussion about a YouTube video called "Hahaha." Perhaps you've seen it. It's about a laughing baby. It has over 100 million views. Apparently YouTube officials showed it to Queen Elizabeth when she visited their headquarters in London. She said it was "lovely." 100 million views? Queen Effen Elizabeth? It's a laughing baby, folks.
Where all this gets interesting is where you least expect it. Take the phenomena of the Mini Cooper and the Smart Car. These adorable vehicles come off the assembly line smiling and America can't get enough of them. Low gas milage? Sure. But it's their unabashedly cute aesthetic that is driving sales.
And speaking of cars, Wildoff points to the GEICKO Gecko as a commercial manifestation of the cuteness pandemic. Over the years the popular spokes-creature has evolved from skanky reptile to adorable critter. His color has been warmed, his scales diminished and his eyes widened. Bigger eyes are a surefire marker of cuteness. Just ask the Japanese. Hello Kitty!
Finally, consider our President, Barak Obama. That smile. That gleam in his eye. All that hope! Could the guy be any cuter? Yes he could. By adding the perfect American family, right down to a dog named "Bo." Let's face it: the edgiest thing about our President is his skin color. Obama is the Commander in Chief of Cuteness.
So, what is up? Is cuteness backlash to the crippling financial crisis? Lord knows that's been depressing. Is cute the antidote? Can puppies and cupcakes take our frazzled minds off staggering unemployment and underwater mortgages? Do laughing babies and big-eyed lizards placate the unemployed? Obama's been in the Oval Office a full year. If nothing else, Cash for Clunkers was a cute idea. Public Health Care not so much.
Whether cuteness is spoiling our country or merely distracting it, we can hardly avoid its presence. Or can we? I recommend a good zombie movie. Try Dawn of the Dead, the original or remake. Of course zombies are my answer for everything.

channel molding used for screens
This week-end I watched Desperate Landscapes: Episode Desperate Turnaround. In this episode the host used some type of channel molding with a cap to a install porch screen, does anyone know what was used? Seemed to make the idea of replacing my screen on the back porch much easier. Appeared as if he pressed the screen into a channel tapped a cover over it cut the excess screen and he was done.
My husband and I thought Screen Tight was the same stuff as well. Went to Home Depot and checked into it, but on the show there was no spline involved, it looked as if they were just using their fingers to tuck it into a channel and then pulling it taunt before capping. Maybe they didn't show all of the steps on the show. Thanks for any help

Um, your questions were answered under your first post of 4-15 in the Windows, Walls and Doors section
Apr 20, 2013, 09:28 AM
Sorry, didnt realize I wasnt allowed to ask again if the answer wasnt correct.
Apr 20, 2013, 01:15 PM
You can post as many times as you like but it will make more sense to keep thing contained in the same thread.
I still think I was right though.
Jun 15, 2013, 05:59 AM
when thewy make a tv show. due to time restrictions, they do not always show all the steps. this really burns me up. because good people, like yourself, come on these boards and have been mislead. you cant install a screen with out pulling it tight. and you cant do it with your hands. they did not show using the spline, only installing the cap. which is a good idea, i like the cap.kinda dresses up the door........................................ well well well....i was wrong, and so are you jaybee..we both were....... i went looking to prove her wrong, and found i was....
seems they do make a new screen channel that does not require a SPLINE but you gotta use a spline tool to install. so...she was 1/2 right and we were 1/2 right. its a draw lol

It's garbage!I decided to rent Magic Mike from Netflix. Everyone was loving it and it's getting 80% over on Rotten Tomatoes.
I... didn't really like it -- ended up giving it a 2/5 over on Netflix when it asked me to rate it. I thought the acting was pretty laughable. Particularly by Alex Pettyfer and the girl who played his sister.
Matthew McConaughey was pretty good. Although he overdid it at times. And I didn't really like that his character used the word "fag".

Local Entrepreneur trying to make Paddle Boarding Newest Craze in Lakes CountryDetroit Lakes, MN (WDAY TV) - It could be a pricey summer for lake-home owners as gas prices are hovering around $3.60 and expected to rise, but not every water sport needs a motor.
It could be a pricey summer for lake-home owners as gas prices are hovering around $3.60 and expected to rise, but not every water sport needs a motor. A new shop in Detroit Lakes is hoping their gas-free sport is just what our area needs.
It's taken over the West Coast, and it's invaded the cities, now one local entrepreneur is trying to make paddle boarding the newest craze in lakes country.
Ben Magnuson – Owner, SOL Surf Co: "Just wanted to bring something back to the community that gave somebody a different way of getting on the water."
22-year-old new business owner and Detroit Lakes native, Ben Magnuson, says paddle boarding is all an all-encompassing sport - from aerobic workouts to yoga to fishing.
Ben Magnuson – Owner, SOL Surf Co: "I've taught everyone from a 5-year-old kid to an 84-year-old man so it's a sport that appeals to a huge age gap."
The MSUM student spent the last few years teaching the sport in Hawaii. He's trademarked his SolSurf brand with a west coast attitude.
Ben Magnuson – Owner, SOL Surf Co: "It stands for stoked on life, it's kind of a Hawaiian word, but it's something that's exciting, it's energy, it's something different for the community."
And the shop isn't only for paddle boarding. Magnuson hopes his shop becomes a clean hangout for teenagers.
Ben Magnuson – Owner, SOL Surf Co: "We encourage loitering, we want people to come down here, play volleyball, hangout, we're going to have some tunes going, live bands coming in."
Magnuson expects to be fully open by Tuesday.

Posts Tagged: Haagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven
An Un-bee-lievably Generous Gift
Debra Jamison, state regent of the California State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. loves bees. So when it came time to select a fundraising project, she knew what she wanted to do.
Jamison adopted the motto, "Bees are at the heart of our existence" and vowed to support honey bee research and enhance honey bee environments to help the beleaguered bees.
Jamison, whose first name means "bee" in Hebrew, says she's had a lifelong "love and respect for bees." Her project? She chose to help bee research at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road at the University of California, Davis, and support the adjacent Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, owned and maintained by the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
Last year Jamison and her fellow members of the California State Society donated $30,000 to bee scientist Brian Johnson. Then this year they gifted $15,000 to the garden, which was planted in 2009 as a year-around food resource for the Laidlaw bees and other pollinators. It also serves to create public awareness for the plight of bees, and as an educational garden, where visitors can glean ideas for their own gardens.
The check was presented at a "lunch-with-the-bees" celebration organized by the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Some 125 DAR members, some from as far away as Chico and San Diego, dined beneath a canopy of olive trees bordering the road.
"We appreciate this more than we can say," said Ed Lewis, professor and vice chair of the department--and whose mother belongs to DAR.
On behalf of the department, haven manager Christine Casey accepted the check from Jamison and Karen Montgomery of Modesto, the state regent's project chair. The department used some of the funds to purchase two benches. Other projects will include a shade structure in the Growers Grove section and more bee habitat.
Honey bees prefaced the American Revolutionary War (1765-1783) by 143 years. European colonists brought the honey bee to Jamestown colony, Virginia, in 1622. Descendants of the American Revolutionary War formed DAR in 1890.
"Our 114 chapters and 15 districts have worked diligently to educate members, children, and the public about the plight of bees," Jamison said. "This outreach has been truly outstanding. Add to that the phenomenal fundraising efforts. I truly thought that when I brought this project before the members that they might think, 'Eeeeeuuuu, creepy insect, and weird state regent.'
Jamison singled out several DAR members for special recognition. She praised Karen Montgomery, state chair of the project and member of the Major Hugh Moss Chapter, Modesto, and committee members Susan Montgomery of the Major Hugh Moss Chapter; and Diane Groome, Carol Vercellino and Sharon Paukkert, all of the José Maria Amador Chapter, Pleasanton. "Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for all of your work to raise funds for this project," Jamison said
Jamison presented certificates of appreciation to Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen and communication specialist Kathy Keatley Garvey of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology for their work in helping DAR with the two-year project.
"Bee Patriotic" rally towels decorated each table. Last year Jamison's rally towels were lettered with "Bee-lieve in the Power of DAR." All those attending the March 28th luncheon received a "I Bee-long to DAR" recyclable grocery bag.
The crowd toured the haven and ended the day with hearing bee presentations in the Laidlaw facility conference room.
Mussen talked about the life cycle of bees and the issues bees face: malnutrition, pesticides, pests, parasites, diseases and stress. Malnutrition, Mussen said, is a bigger problem now than colony collapse disorder (CCD), a mysterious malady characterized by adult bees abandoning the hive. An active colony of honey bees requires an acre-equivalent of mixed blooms, daily, to meet their nutritional needs.
Mussen urged the DAR members to plant for bees, especially plants that normally bloom in late summer and fall, or delay plantings so that they result in late summer/fall blossoms. Good plant lists, he said, can be found on the UC Davis Entomology and Nematology's bee biology website (see Honey Bees), and on the Xerces website, under "Pollinator Conservation Resource Center."
Mussen also warned that simply because certain pesticides are labeled for use in organic gardening does not mean that they are less dangerous for non-target insects, particularly pollinators. Also, insecticides that are watered into the soil and move from the roots, systemically throughout the plants, are secreted in the nectar and pollens when the treated plants bloom.
"We are just studying certain mixes of fungicides, insect growth regulators, and newer adjuvants that can cause serious damage to honey bee brood, even though that information is not on the labels," Mussen said.
In thanking the DAR members Johnson said the $30,000 will cover a two-year period of graduate student research. His graduate student, Gerard Smith, researches the effect of pesticide exposure in the field on honey bee foraging behavior, and graduate student Cameron Jasper studies the genetic basis of division of labor in honey bees.
The haven is open from dawn to dusk every day. Admission is free. To commemorate National Public Gardens Day, a special event (free) will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Friday, May 9. It will include a guide tour at 6 p.m. and a give-away of sunflower seeds (while they last).

Her Name Was Olive
Every Friday morning she'd come bounding over to greet me, her tail wagging happily, one ear up, one ear down.
I called her "My Second Favorite Dog" and nicknamed her "The Bee Garden Mascot."
Her owner, Kristen Kolb of Davis, was one of the 19 founding gardeners who tended the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden planted in September 2009 next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, UC Davis.
As Kris weeded, planted and pruned, and hauled away the clippings, Olive tagged along, showcasing her trademark windshield-wiper tail, gentle brown eyes and topsy-turvy ears.
Kris and Olive were inseparable. They exchanged hugs and licks and conversation. This was a dog well-loved.
Olive's loyalty reminded me of my childhood dog, Ted, who followed me everywhere on the family farm. He watched me weed the vegetable garden, pick blackberries, and once jumped into the Cowlitz River and swam to our fishing boat. When I went off to college 400 miles away, Ted died. I think he died of a broken heart.
Olive died of cancer. Kris wrote me a note yesterday: "I know you loved her, too. She was about 12, and yes, from the shelter. We were so lucky to find each other and have 10+ wonderful years together. She loved the garden and the gardeners (haven coordinator Missy Borel Gable, team leader Mary Patterson, and Randy Beaton, Tyng Tyng Cheng, Judy Hills, Carolyn Hinshaw, Marion London, Kate McDonald, Kathy Olson, Nancy Stone, Janet Thatcher, Laura Westrup, Nyla Wiebe, Gary Zamzow, Kili Bong, Evan Marczak, Laurie Hildebrandt and Joe Frankenfield) and being a part of it all. Thank you for appreciating what a special dog she was."
Together the 19 founding gardeners donated 5200 hours to the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology between May 2010 and February 2013. Missy Borel Gable, former program manager of the California Center for Urban Horticulture at UC Davis, now directs the statewide UC Master Gardeners' Program. Many of her colleagues are continuing their volunteer work in the UC Davis Arboretum.
The "haven saviors" made a difference. Under their care, the Sacramento Bee named the haven one of the Top 10 Garden Destinations in the area. But they were more than gardeners, volunteers and friends. They were family. They all took time to laugh, to talk about their lives, plans and plants (not necessarily in that order) and to watch the honey bees, bumble bees, butterflies, carpenter bees, European wool carder bees, metallic sweat bees, syrphids, ladybugs, bigeyed bugs, assassin bugs, lacewings, praying mantids, jumping spiders and web weavers--and an occasional red-tailed hawk, great-horned owl and jackrabbit.
And they all knew, as did I, what a very special dog Olive was.

Attracting Pollinators to Your Garden
"How to Attract and Maintain Pollinators in Your Garden."
That's the title of a new publication by the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) and what a gem this is. It's not only a gem, but it's free. You can download the publication on this site.
"Nearly all ecosystems on earth depend on pollination of flowering plants for their existence and survival; furthermore, from 70 to 75 percent of the world's flowering plants and over one-third of the world's crop species depend on pollination for reproduction," the authors write. "Take a stroll through your neighborhood or a botanical garden or hike in the hills, and experience the shapes and smells of flowers surrounding you. When most people look at a flower, they notice the shape, smell, composition, or structure of the flower, but few take a moment to consider why the blossom appears and smells as it does."
The publication is the work of a nine-member team: UC Berkeley entomologist Gordon Frankie and lab assistants Marissa Ponder (lead author), Mary Schindler, Sara Leon Guerrero, and Jaime Pawelek; international landscape designer Kate Frey; Rachel Elkins, UC Cooperative Extension pomology advisor, Lake and Mendocino counties; Rollin Coville, photographer, UC Berkeley; and Carolyn Shaffer, lab assistant, UC Cooperative Extension, Lake County. Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, helped edit the publication.
The publication asks and answers such questions as:
- What Is Pollination?
- Who Are the Pollinators?`
- Why Should You Care About Pollination?
- How Can You Attract Pollinators to Your Garden?
Other topics include:
- General Design Recommendations for Pollinator Habitat
- Designs to Attract Specific Pollinators
- A List of Pollinator Plants That are Successful in Most California Gardens
- Nesting Resources for Native Bees
Of bees, the authors write: "Bees are the most important biotic agent for the pollination of agricultural crops, horticultural plants, and wildflowers...approximately 4000 species of bees exist in the United States, with 1600 of those residing in California. About 20,000 species have been recorded worldwide."
And, as they succinctly point out, "Native bee species come in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and lifestyles that enable them to pollinate a diversity of plant species." One of our favorites is the metallic green sweat bee (Agapostemon texanus).
Last September we enjoyed a tour of Melissa's Garden, Healdsburg, a bee sanctuary owned by Barbara and Jacques Schlumberger and designed by the incredibly talented Kate Frey. "If a honey bee could design a garden, what would it look like?" That's what the Schlumbergers asked Frey back in November of 2007. Although this is a private garden, the Schlumbergers host workshops for schoolchildren, beekeepers and UC Master Gardeners, among other groups. if you ever get the opportunity to tour the garden, you should. A sculpture of Bernard the Beekeeper graces the entrance.
Melissa's Garden is mentioned in the UC ANR Publication, as is the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven at UC Davis and the UC Berkeley-Oxford Tract Bee Evaluation Garden. Also check out the UC Berkeley Urban Bee Lab website.

A Brush With Bees
If you plant a bottlebrush in your yard, you'll experience a brush with kindness.
This time of year there's not much food for honey bees to eat. Bottlebrush, in the genus Callistemon and family Myrtaceae, fits the bill.
We captured this image Oct. 16 at the Häagen-Dazs Bee Haven, a bee friendly garden on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis, west of the central campus. The half-acre garden, planted in the fall of 2009, serves as a year-around food source for the bees at the nearby Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Faciity, as well as other pollinators, raises public awareness of bees, and provides visitors with ideas of what to plant in their own gardens. Admission to the garden, open from dawn to dusk, is free. If you want a guided tour (a nominal fee is charged), contact Christine Casey at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The bee-utiful Miss Bee Haven, a six-foot long ceramic mosaic sculpture by Donna Billick of Davis, anchors the garden. The UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program, directed by Donna Billick and entomologist/artist Diane Ullman, has kindly provided a plethora of art, the work of their students in Entomology 1. Think decorated bee boxes at the entrance, a native bee mural on the tool shed, ceramic mosaic planters filled with flowers, and native bee condos for leafcutter bees and blue orchard bees.
The bottlebrush fits in well. Native to Australia, this plant resembles--you guessed it--a bottlebrush, the kind of tool you'd use to clean a baby bottle or an insulated bottle. Most flower heads are red, but they can also be yellow, orange, white or green, depending on the 34 species.
The bottlebrush is a long and late bloomer, to be sure. But a welcome one at that.

Behold, the Gold!
When you visit the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis, be sure to check out the passionflower vine clinging to the fence.
You'll see female Valley carpenter bees (Xylocopa varipuncta) seemingly speckled with gold dust. This is actually a thick coat of pollen from their foraging ventures. Underneath that gold pollen, the females are a solid black. (The males of this species are blond with green eyes.)
One of the haven's founding volunteer gardeners, Mary Patterson, a retired cattle rancher and businesswoman who was honored in 2009 as a "Friend of the College" (UC Davis College of Agricultural and Natural Resources), planted the vine there.
The vine is doing quite well.
So are the carpenter bees.
Passionflower blossoms range in color from white to lavender to red, depending on the varieties. This one sports lavender blossoms.
Passiflora is the larval host plant of the Gulf Fritillary butterflies, Agraulis vanillae, a showy reddish-orange butterfly nicknamed "The Passion Butterfly." We spotted no eggs, caterpillars or chrysalids on this particular vine, however.
The Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, planted in the fall of 2009, provides a year-around food source for the nearby bees at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility and other pollinators. It also serves to raise public awareness on the plight of honey bees, and as an educational resource to help visitors decide what to plant in their own gardens.
Maintained by the UC Department of Entomology and Nematology, it's open year around, from dawn to dusk for self-guided tours. Admission? Free. But if you want a guided tour, there's a nominal fee of $3 per person. For more information, contact Christine Casey at email@example.com.

Dear Diabetes Health, I hope you can help me. I am 49 years old and was diagnosed with type 2 five years ago. My husband still wants sex. I don't even want him to touch me. He is very mean to me. He yells at me and calls me names.
My sugar control is pretty good. My A1C is about 7%. I'm about 20 pounds over where the doctor wants me, but my girlfriend tells me I still look good. But my husband calls me "his little piggy" and worse things. Then he wants sex!
We always had some problems, but he didn't used to be this way until the last few years. We've been together 18 years, and I used to love him. What can I do?
Dear Marguerite,
You are in a tough situation, and we give you credit for managing your diabetes well despite your husband's attitude. Insults are a bad sign for a marriage. Possibly he is involved with someone else or wants to be. Perhaps diabetes just makes him too uncomfortable. But your 18 years together counts for something, too. Possibly you can turn things around.
Let's start with your communication, which has broken down. Try talking to him in "I" messages. That means talking about your feelings and how his actions affect you, instead of focusing on what he is doing wrong. You can say something like, "It really hurts me when you call me names like 'Piggy'. It doesn't help me do better; it just makes me want to give up. Could you please call me [something more positive]?" That's called "assertiveness," (standing up for yourself) and it often works.
It sounds as though neither you nor your husband feel loved. Gary Chapman PhD, author of The Five Love Languages, says that we all have "love tanks" that need to be filled. When our love tank stays empty, it is hard for us to act positively towards our partners. Many times, this is a problem of communication - each partner may be giving love in a way (a "love language") that the other doesn't understand. It may be that you were giving him love in a language he didn't understand. It is even possible that he occasionally tries to give you love, but he isn't speaking your language.
Chapman says there are five love languages: words, gifts, touch, acts of service, and "quality time," which we call "undivided attention." Few people "speak" all five, but it's important to be at least bilingual - to give and receive love in your main language and your husband's. For example, he might feel that he is giving love by working hard to provide, while what you want is some undivided attention. Or you might give love by providing him with attention, when what he wants is more touch. Or something - as you can see, there are many ways to miss each other. The key is to learn your partner's language, so you can give love in a way he can take in, and feel any love that he is trying to give you.
Dr. Chapman advises spouses in your situation to say something like, "I want to be a better wife (or husband) to you. If you have any suggestions that would help me be a better [spouse], I am open to them. You can tell me now or think about it and tell me later." Try to act on the advice he gives you, and ask him for feedback every week on how you are doing.
This is hard to do, we know. It should be him saying those things to you, but he's not going to. So it's up to you. Check out Dr. Chapman's web site for more on this.
When it comes to sex, don't do something you don't want to do. But it would be good if you could get to a place of wanting some. Think about what would make you interested in sex with him, and ask him for it. Or remember the things about him that used to turn you on, and try to focus on those. Look at some of our previous columns for ideas on boosting your desire and finding sexual activities you might like.
Dr. Chapman says that giving sex can be an act of love, which you can give whether you actually feel love for the other person or not. You're just doing something good for them, giving a gift. (As a religious counselor, Chapman is talking about giving sex in the context of marriage. We would say people can give love in this way to other people as well.)
Reconnecting is going to be a long process, and you might want to get professional help from a counselor or clergy. And keep taking care of yourself! With better communication and the right love language you might be able to fix this. Let us know how it goes.

30 S Park St, Montclair, NJ | Directions 0704240.814530 -74.219749
Daily, 11:30am - 1:30am
Great Mini-Hamburgers. – Monday June 25,2007 Me and four others went to see a movie at the Claridge Theater.
Exited out the back door and found some quaint restaurants with outdoor seating.
Closer to where we parked we saw SPB& G.
We went in for a late bite. Found it to very nice. Good waitstaff, good menu, fast service and great food.
I had the MINI-BURGERS. In the menu as a appetizer but really a meal! All our meals were very good.
Nice summers night out. Just a word to the wise! If you are eating at night- do not sit at the table that is under the Neon Light- flying insects go to the light.
Four Strikes- South Park is OUT – I just visited South Park for the fourth time...and it was my last. My first visit was great, but after that things went downhill with each sucessive visit. Each time we go, service is very friendly (I'll give them that)...they try hard, but must have too many tables or something b/c the waiters are never that focused/attentive. Every time I've gone they've been out of one or more beers that we wanted to order. The food is also incredibly lackluster, low-quality and mediocre for the price. I've ordered the Mediterranean Cachet twice...the second time they substitute shrimp for scallops without telling me and omitted several key ingredients which left it bland and colorless. This past time I got an Asian Chicken wrap which the waitress said was "sooo good"...ok, if you like chicken DRIPPING with salty, overpowering sauce from a jar. My brother got the Rosemary Chicken...which was stark white (not golden like it had been baked or sauteed" and covered in a gelatinous-looking sauce. It was 15 bucks, but was the plainest, blandest looking thing I'd seen! My father got the soup/sandwich combo. It was 9 dollars, but looked pitiful when searved. Literally a few sliced of deli meat on some toasted Wonderbread....a tiny serving. And the caesar salad was like a 1/4 cup lettuce. They told him the soup was chicken noodle, but it was acutally lentil.....and then they charged us separately for the soup! Overall, I do NOT recommend anyone going there for the food. Everything looks AWESOME on the menu, but you'll be sorely dissapointed with the quality, taste and value when it arrives at your table. I'm sure it's a fun place to grab a beer, IF THEY EVEN HAVE THE BEER YOU WANT!!!
They've Got to be Kidding! – The first thing you notice is the high prices, which do not equate to paper napkins, homely table settings, and teenage waitresses with exposed belly-button rings. Then comes the dry, overcooked, unsightly food.
This restaurant embarrasses the city of Montclair.
